The name of the game for beautiful skin is “Neutralize Free Radicals”. How do we do that? Flood your skin with potent anti-oxidants as a preventative measure against aging. Anti-oxidants can prevent new wrinkles from forming by counteracting free radicals. What’s the number one cause of free radicals? The sun, which causes photodamage at any age, any where on your body.

Gone is the slathering on of baby oil and baking in the sun with a reflective foil to increase your tan. Hello sunscreen and anti-oxidants, your new BFF! While sunscreen can help diminish the amount of penetrating rays, it does not entirely prevent them from reaching your skin. Once they do the UVA rays let loose free radicals which spin off out of control and like a witch’s spell, cast their sights on creating fine lines, wrinkles and making your skin age prematurely.

What’s the answer? Along with stylish sun protective clothing like Solaire Wear (www.solairewear.com) and sunscreen use year round, make sure to introduce anti-oxidants. Since the human body does not manufacture antioxidants, they must be supplied. Retinol (Vitamin A), Alphahydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Peptides will work to renew and repair the skin from our arch enemy, the free radical. These ingredients help your skin look and act younger. A free radical counter attack should contain both antioxidants and repairing agents to prevent and treat signs of aging.

Polyphenols are anti-oxidants found in the fruit and seeds of grapes. Grape seed polyphenols are twenty times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in fighting free radicals. One of the anti-aging secrets of the French, red wine, contains the polyphenol Resveratrol. When used in skin treatments Resveratrol has been proven to even out skin color, improve elasticity and stimulate cell regeneration. Featured on CBS’60 Minutes program, Resveratrol is also anti-inflammatory.
